        Leif was a Daemos with many secrets, things that he preferred to keep to himself. You, and his relationship with you, just so happened to be one of them.

        It had all started when Leif walked up to you in the park. You had been trying to sketch out the landscape in front of you: a small field of flowers, some trees whose leaves were just starting to die, a busy street just beside the beautiful greenery, disrupting the peace. It would be the perfect realistic sketch to pass in for a class you were taking, but artists block was hitting hard, despite the fact that you had all the inspiration you needed right in front of you. Or so you thought...

        When Leif approached you and started talking, you were caught off guard. You rarely met other people who were as bold as him, able to just walk up to anyone and start a conversation successfully. And maybe it was because of this that you asked him to meet you there again another day.

        Ava was sitting in her room, scrolling through social media on her phone and enjoying some long overdue silence...

        ...Up until a certain prince walked over to her door, knocking so hard that he damn-near punched through it. "Prisoner!!" He called, his fist continuously slamming against the door. "Where. Is. Leif?!"

        "How am I supposed to know?!" She spat back, getting to her feet and tossing her phone onto her bed. "He's not my responsibility, your majesty!"

        "How dare you?!" He scoffed, summoning flames into his palm. "I'll-"

        "Prince Asch!" Rhys scolded, causing Asch to take a step back and pout. "Sorceress Ava, Leif is not around." He began, calmly. "Would you kindly bring us out again to make sure that he isn't creating havoc in your world. This isn't the first time he's gone missing."

        Ava picked up her phone, tucking it safely into her back pocket. "Yeah, that's a good plan. I don't think it's exactly beyond Leif to attempt murder..."

        Minutes later, Ava gathered the Daemos in the living room, all of them dressed in their human clothes, hiding their horns, ready to investigate. They narrowed down where Leif could be to the one place that the group had visited before; the park. And once they were there, it didn't take long for them to spot his familiar white hair.

        He's walking towards you, as you stood a few feet away, smiling at him. Ava recognizes you instantly, fearing that Leif is about to hurt you, or worse... but he doesn't.

        Instead of pulling a knife on you, he engulfs your smaller form in the safety of his arms, drawing a string of jovial giggles from your lips. He lifts you slightly off of the ground, and your legs instinctively wrap around his waist. Ava can tell by your body language that this is far from your first meeting and that you aren't just a friend that Leif somehow managed to make. No, you're much more to him.

        Your eyes are both fixed on each other's, as he whirls you around in his arms, revealing the unfamiliar, happy smile on his lips. Ava feels the other Daemos tense up behind her, hearing a few gasps as well.

        "Who is that human? Why are they with Leif?"

        "He's..."

        "Yes."

        Ava smirks, turning back to face the Daemos. "Our work here is done!" She hums, happily.

        "But we didn't-" Asch tries to argue, only for Ava to cut him off.

        "Just let him have this. Him being happy is better than him being kill-happy." The Daemos all nod in agreement before the group of five makes their way back to the apartment.

        "So, Leif..." You mumbled, twiddling with your thumbs in your lap. "I have a question." You two had finally found a peaceful, secluded area of the park, where he could have his green horns out in the open.

        He stared back at you, curiosly. "Okay?"

        You bit your lip, meeting the gaze of his cerulean eyes. "W-Would you be mine?"

        He couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the your red, flustered face or your (e/c) eyes, begging him for an answer. "Obviously."

        You were filled with relief instantly, inching closer to the Daemos beside you and snuggling into his chest. One of you hands reached up, drawing a line from the base of his horns to the point while he happily hugged your waist.

        And with that, he leaned down to steal your lips in a kiss, the last of the day, but far from the last in general...
